Btw, I was actually in Alcatraz (No, I didn't serve time) grin Back around 1972 on a California trip. Interesting, dark and kind of creepy if I recall. I tried to go a few years back but evidently the tours get booked up way in advance. I imagine with a tv show, it may bring more tourist, although I didn't see if it's actually filmed on Alcatraz.


TIS


just asking, was their any big time mobsters/criminals when the prison closed down?
